    Seventeen

    written by: Denholm
    category: Loss

    I know you're dead, I saw your body
    They puffed and wheezed you down the stairs
    How undignified in your own house
    Two sweaty strangers, trying to do their job
    A final exit fit for no man.
    We watched in sick silent void

    You must be somewhere on this planet
    amongst the teeming billions
    I look when travelling, maybe Venice having coffee,
    I check at airports, galleries or scanning crowds
    I know you're somewhere
    No one who means so much can leave forever.
